Granted, devices flow rather quickly in and out and employee turnover rate can be quite high especially in retail. However, its good to see Sprint getting employees to learn them through actual real life experience and selling accordingly. I'm sick and tired of knowing more about devices, gadgets, computers, and other tech stuff than sales associates just from 5 minutes of looking on the internet.
When I went into a store last week to ask about the Touch Diamond, the Diamond advocate intoduced himself, said "later in Sept"... Helpful enough guy.

Then I asked about the Touch Pro - he said didn't think they were going to carry that phone. Seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about. So I mentioned "I used to have a Mogul, miss the KB". He said "oh, we ARE going to get a new Mogul".
